COMPRESSION BALL-COCK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 421,573, dated February 18, 1890. Application filed August 23, 1889- Serial No. 321, 746. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern:

lar base-piece of section A is provided. This Be it known that 1, WILLIAM JAMEIsoN, a

construction is provided for the purpose'of holding the lower ends of the sections to= gether. To hold the upper ends of the sections, I provide a ring B, form shown in Fig. 4, and screw-threaded opening, through which a thumb-screw O is adapted to be. passed, the arrangement of parts being such that the inner end of the screw 0 will impinge against the section A and force the two sections closely together.

D represents the spindle; E, the valve; E, its seat, and F a suitable lever connected with spindle D and pivoted between brackets cl, hereinbefore referred to, such-parts being of wellknown construction.

The manner of using the device will be readily understood, and is as follows: IVhen it is desired to gain access to the interior of the shell for the purpose of adjusting the packing or for any other purpose, the thumb screw is turned sufficientl to allow of the removal of the ring, after which the section A of the casing can be removed. When desired, the section A may be replaced in position, the flange a holding it in position until the ring can be replaced and the screw turned to hold the upper ends of the sections.

What I claim istoga Springs, in the county of Saratoga and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Compression Ball-Cocks; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in-the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in compression ballcooks for tanks, and more especially to the improved construction of the shell or casing in which the valve is located and operated.

The object of the invention is to provide means for obtaining more ready access to the spindle carrying the valve and to the accomplishment of that end the invention consists in a divided shell or casing and in means for holding the sections in place, as will be hereinafter fully described and specifically claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a view in elevation; Fig. 2, a vertical section; Fig. 3, a detail of the spindle and valve and Fig. 4 a view in detail of the ring and setscrew employed for holding the two sectionsof the shell in place.

Like letters refer to like parts in each view.

In the drawings, the shell or casing for the valve-carrying spindle is shown as formed of two sections A A, the former consisting of a circular base-piece a, into which the nozzle (2 for the inlet-pipe is screwed, and an upright section, in which latter the discharge-orifice c is formed. The upright portion of section A is also provided at points near its upper end with bearing-brackets d, one of which is 10- provided with a sisting of two sections, one provided on its lower end with an upturned flange arranged to surround the lower end of the remaining section, in combination with a ring and screw for holding the parts together, as set forth.

2. Ina compression ballcock, the combination, with sections A A, the former provided with flange a, of ring B and thumbscrew 0, as set forth.

In testimony whereof Iaiiix my signature in presence of two Witnesses. sists of an upright section enlarged at its WILLIAM JAMEISON.
